Drept told Garrett that the Hag, our prime suspect for starting the foretold Dark Age, made her debut appearance 30 years ago in the long-since abandoned orphanage/asylum, the infamous Shalebridge Cradle. Tonight Garrett's going in there to look for clues regarding the Hag's identity and motives.
This should be easy, there probably won't even be any guards in there as the place is supposedly haunted and everybody's afraid to go in there. Hah, I doubt it's really that scary. What on earth could possibly be scarier than the catacombs infested with Hammerhaunts and zombies that I just stole this place's map from? Nothing, that's what. It'll be a picnic.
Although, [spoiler] statistically this IS the worst I've done so far, and will probably ever do, in ANY Thief game.
I recorded this at 1 AM, like a man. With my lights on. Like a man who paid his electric bill.

- Something that looped in my head endlessly in the Cradle the first time I ever played it, and a couple times more yesterday when I recorded it. I don't know why.

I hate this ET. It's another one of the older HITMAN elusive targets and is a prime example of how boring they can be. Moves around in a very small area, does nothing interesting, presents no cool kill opportunities and is always surrounded by a platoon of guards just to dick with the player. You could claim that it offers a challenge for people who love figuring out world record SASO runs, but it's not a fun mission. I think it's stupid. That's probably why I never recorded it before.
I spent some time trying to figure out interesting kills with SA and mostly default/no loadout, but most of them relied on luck since ETs have a lot of randomness to them. One consistent method was largely the same as what I know another Hitman youtuber 28 times more popular than me has done in the past, so here's the second consistent method I never actually practiced, only theorised before recording. It can still get tricky if the target randomly has a different timing to his movements.
I recommend you use the Sieker if you have it and kill him when he's puking.
Or just shoot him and run.

There's a glitch of some kind where Rocco's body doesn't need to be hidden, saving a good 10 seconds from the run. Despite doing it by accident twice I don't know exactly how it works, so I decided not use such a run.
I also really like seeing his body being flung down off the balcony.

100,000 gold for an old trinket in an abandoned cathedral? On it!
What on earth could possibly go wrong?
The game introduces us two new enemies today. In addition to the old burricks, zombies, green spiders and hammerhaunts (we saw one down in the bonehoard) we also get a close look at aggressive apparitions, weird ghosts of dead Hammer Priests I guess, and the scary Craymen.
The apparitions throw projectiles, can be killed with Constantine's sword or with several direct hits from Flash Bombs and are apparently deaf. Weird, they could easily hear me messing around, but if Thief Wikia says so then who am I to disagree.
Craymen... they make scary sounds while they wander, that's about it. Yeah, sure, in combat they're also tougher than human opponents, but why would I ever fight anyone or anything fair?
We've got Constantine's sword for the rest of the game now. I don't know if it deals more damage than the old one or not, but I do know it has two other plus sides for sure: it can kill the ghosts due to it's magical properties (although this is the first level we meet them so who cares what the old one didn't do) and more importantly wielding it doesn't make you more visible like the old one did, so you have an easier time to get ready for a backstab.
This is the most confusing to navigate level in the game, the place feels like a maze the first few... hundred times you play through it because there are a lot of different ways to get around it.
The level is annoyingly dark if you don't turn the lights on, but it's harder to avoid the enemies' attention without all the shadows. I think I probably should've turned ALL the lights on for the video since it's difficult to see anything at times, but what's done is done.
This is the first of the two levels in the game where undead enemies actually scare me.
Oh, yeah, got menu screens working now because I installed DDFix. Didn't think of installing it before because the problems with the resolution switching never bother me when I'm just playing for fun, and I started recording the game in a bit of a hurry, because I actually wanted to just PLAY it. The idea of recording it came later.
Why don't I have the loot from the previous level and why is the campaign totals all wrong, you ask? Well, the simple job of installing DDFix marked the beginning of a long and unnaturally unlucky series of PC problems, which lead to me losing my save files. No, I actually didn't remove them myself like I thought at first. My PC is just breaking bad.

Playing Freelancer. Day 12-1.
It's been 4 months since the last time I played this mode, so I'm a lot rusty AND there's been big updates to the game in the meantime. And I was never really very good in the first place.
